Sunset Hot Press Rag 310g is a 100% cotton, white art paper with a silky, smooth surface. It is ideal for reproducing paintings and art photographs that have unbroken swaths of color or a lot of detail. Because it has the look and luxurious feel of a traditional art paper, Sunset Hot Press Rag is a good choice for print projects that need to convey a sense of timelessness or quality, such photo restorations, memory albums, greeting cards, and postcards.

LexJet Sunset Hot Press Rag 310g can be used on many pigment and dye ink printers from Canon, Epson, and HP.

Color profiles are available for many models.

Printer/Ink Compatibility

Compatible with all thermal and piezo inkjet printers using water-based dye and pigment-based inks.

Software Settings

The coating on this product is engineered for better than 300% ink coverage. A Heavy Weight Coated, or Enhanced Matte paper setting is the appropriate starting point, however, we recommend that you try different settings to achieve optimum performance for your specific application.

Color Matching

For the best and most consistent results, a profile should be created using an external color calibrator in conjunction with your RIP and/or color matching software.

Finishing/Post Processing

No post processing or finishing is required on this paper. However, a clear fixative may be applied to enhance certain areas of the print.

Light Fastness

The fading time of ink jet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose, as well as the environment where the print is displayed. All dye-based inks fade noticeably under direct sunlight and in interior applications where direct sunlight may fall on the image, and/or, where fluorescent or other UV lighting is present. Although the fading process is inherent in all ink jet inks, certain UV enhanced inks, pigment-based inks, and UV inhibiting coatings will extend the longevity of ink color. Contact the ink manufacturer to determine a specific ink’s suitability for a particular application. LexJet’s Sunset line of fine art materials all meet the Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Limited Edition Prints (otherwise knows
as the Blue Wool 6 test).

Handling Recommendations

Due to the absorptive nature of the coating, you should avoid touching the coated surface. It's always recommended that cotton gloves be used when handling inkjet coated materials. Rolls of LexJet film are supplied with the coated side facing out.
